How to Make a Video Collage On Your Computer

Here are four simple steps to get an eye-catching video collage on your computer in a breeze:

Step 1 – Add Your Images to the Collage

Start with selecting the best photos but do not let your collage slideshow be "overcrowded" - add up to 6 photos on one slide. While picking the images, make sure the color scheme is consistent. If the major parts of your photos have bright and vivid tones, inserting a black and white one may ruin the overall impression.

Step 2 – Pick the Style of Your Collage

Use a collage template to speed up the process. Switch to the Collages tab and select the style you like. Want to tweak the chosen template a bit? Double-click the slide and start working on it! For example, change the background. Choose a solid color, gradient, texture or upload your own image. You can also use a video clip as a background.

Step 3 – Add Music to Your Collage

A catchy soundtrack will be a perfect addition to your collage. Consider the style of your video, its topic and duration. For a dynamic video, select a rhythmic song. For a romantic one, go for a slow-paced or a medium-paced tune. You can also record voice comments using the built-in microphone and play them simultaneously with your collage. SmartSHOW 3D allows you to lower the music volume and make your voice louder.

Step 4 – Create Your Video Collage

If everything is in place, then it’s high time to create your own collage. Switch to the Create tab in this video maker and pick a suitable format. If you want to rewatch this animated video during family parties, then pick the HD format - you can save it to a USB flash drive or play the video on a TV. Want to share the collage with your friends online? Create a video for the Internet.

Best Music Tunes for Your Video Collage

When choosing songs for a collage, remember that the audio should match the mood and pace of the video. For example, upbeat music works well with energetic visuals such as parties and sports. Calm and slow-paced songs are the perfect accompaniment to nature and cityscape pictures taken on your travels. Classical or orchestral music complements formal photo collages or historical narratives, while electronic music suits modern or abstract visuals.

Making Video Collages - Smartphone vs. PC

Creating video collages on mobile phones and desktop computers has its own advantages and drawbacks. Smartphones have small screens, making it harder to see how photo collages will look on larger displays. Their interfaces are also less intuitive because of an overly compact design, so finding the necessary tools may be difficult. Free apps on phones often interrupt with ads and are suitable mostly to newbies because of unavailability of pro-level tools.

As for PCs, they have bigger screens for clearer previews and easier-to-use interfaces with lots of editing features. They're faster at handling editing tasks and offer more tools to create and share your work - ideal for complex video projects. Paid PC video editors and some freeware usually don't have ads as well.

Consider your program based on how often you create on the go, how complex your edits are, and how smoothly you want things to run. Pick mobile apps to make a simple one-off collage. Opt for a desktop video creator like SmartSHOW 3D for making more complex collages with photos or doing regular edits.
